Case Study
Inventory & Operations
Problem Statement
Arado, a fresh-produce delivery startup was looking for upgradation and modernization of their existing Supply chain operations in their home region of Brazil. As part of this endeavor, Ninjacart decided to implement its Inventory and Operations Management solution in Arado’s ecosystem to help fulfil this requirement. The key Business drivers for this project were identified as:
Effectively track and move the inventory across the Supply chain zones
Define logics for transforming stock into Customer orders
Design process workflows that best-fit a time sensitive order delivery window
Solution Approach
A four-point solution approach was undertaken for this project:
Engagement Model
Flash app, which is used by the on-ground operations team to:
- Manage and handle the stock receiving from Farmers, vendors or Interfacility
- Execute the instructional workflows for activities such as Batching, Lotting, Picking, Loading and Dispatch
Bifrost (Central ERP), which is used by the Central teams to:
- Monitor the on-ground team
performance and adherence to cut-off times - Manage the demand & supply linkage i.e., Pick-n-Run generation
- Get instant stock counts & availability and track profitability
- Take corrective actions to tackle any onground problems faced
Outcome
Arado now operates in an asset light and paperless model of immaculate planning
and on-ground execution
increase in warehouse capacity (daily tonnage)
reduction in Inventory errors (processing)
reduction in losses (pilferage)
